All eyes on Shohei Ohtani as Dodgers visit Braves

September 12 - Shohei Ohtani will aim to take another step toward history on Friday when the Los Angeles Dodgers play the opener of a four-game series against the host Atlanta Braves.

Ohtani belted one of his team's four homers in the first inning and added a stolen base in the second in the Dodgers' 10-8 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Wednesday. The two-time American League MVP increased his home run and stolen base totals to 47 and 48, respectively, as he attempts to become the first player in major league history with at least 50 in each category in a season.
